ECE 581: Advanced Analog IC Design
- We in the Illinois ECE community are committed to understanding, empathizing with, and respecting each other, embracing the many differences among us.
- The Grainger College of Engineering is committed to the creation of an anti-racist, inclusive community that welcomes diversity along a number of dimensions, including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity and national origins, gender and gender identity, sexuality, disability status, class, age, or religious beliefs. The College recognizes that we are learning together in the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement, that Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous voices and contributions have largely either been excluded from, or not recognized in, science and engineering, and that both overt racism and micro-aggressions threaten the well-being of our students and our university community.
- The effectiveness of this course is dependent upon each of us to create a safe and encouraging learning environment that allows for the open exchange of ideas while also ensuring equitable opportunities and respect for all of us. Everyone is expected to help establish and maintain an environment where students, staff, and faculty can contribute without fear of personal ridicule, or intolerant or offensive language. If you witness or experience racism, discrimination, micro-aggressions, or other offensive behavior, you are encouraged to bring this to the attention of the course director if you feel comfortable. You can also report these behaviors to Campus Belonging Resources (https://diversity.illinois.edu/diversity-campus-culture/belonging-resources/). Based on your report, Members of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion staff will follow up and reach out to students to make sure they have the support they need to be healthy and safe. If the reported behavior also violates university policy, staff in the Office for Student Conflict Resolution may respond as well and will take appropriate action.

- Class Attendance and Absence Policy: Part 5, 1-501 of the Student Code provides background on class attendance and provides useful information for students. The code stipulates the conditions under which an absence letter from the Office of the Dean of Students may be requested. A brief illness - less than 3 days - would not qualify for an absence letter.
- Academic Integrity: Academic dishonesty may result in a failing grade, ignorance is not an excuse for any academic dishonesty. Every student is expected to review and abide by the Academic Integrity Policy described in Part 4, 1-401 of the Student Code --- it is your responsibility to read this to avoid any misunderstanding. Do not hesitate to ask the instructor(s) if you are in doubt about what constitutes plagiarism, cheating, or any other breach of academic integrity.
